"An epidemic": How and why are people living double lives?

How common is it for people to be living double lives? 

Former Deputy Police Commissioner Jevon McSkimming is awaiting sentence after pleading guilty to having child sexual exploitation and bestiality material on his work devices. 

An IPCA report also found complaints of McSkimming being a sexual predator were ignored, the emails the woman sent instead being used to prosecute her for harassment.  

Private Investigator Julia Hartley Moore told Kerre Woodham that the number of people living double and secret lives is an epidemic.  

"I think they just do it because they can,” she said. 

“People have an endless capacity to deceive each other – I think that certain people will never and there’s certain people that will, and there’s a hell of a lot that do.”
